[Psychosomatic aspects of neurologic diseases. Experiences with clinical neurology from the viewpoint of the psychoanalyst].
The great relevance of psychoanalytic-psychosomatic aspects for a more profound understanding of neurological diseases is the topic of this article. In terms of medical history, the development of the discipline of neurology especially in Germany is outlined, whereby neurology and psychosomatic medicine share the fate of a handicapped individuation. On the background of this delayed establishment as branches of their own, the mutual denial of neurology and psychosomatic medicine up to the present is discussed. By means of a survey of literature and case examples of several neurological disorders (hysterical conversion symptoms, selected diseases of the extrapyramidal motor system, lumbago, sciatica, cephalgia, epilepsy) the great importance of psychosomatic medicine and psychoanalysis for neurology is pointed out.
